Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
The Utah Jazz are reportedly interested in Los Angeles Lakers bench gunner Lou Williams, sources told Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune.
Williams is a coveted piece for contenders looking to add a scoring punch before Thursday's trade deadline. He is averaging a career-best 18.6 points and 3.2 assists while shooting 38.6 percent for the Lakers this season.
The Jazz will need to outbid other teams for the 2014-15 Sixth Man of the Year. Newly hired Lakers president Magic Johnson admitted that he has received plenty of calls for Williams since taking over hours ago.
Johnson says most calls have been 4 Lou Williams, but "I’m not gonna be a guy who’s going to tell the press the moves that we’ll be making."
